Version history

Shadows of Abaddon Version 1.2.002a acts as the second public beta of the 1.2 release cycle, released on the official SoA Discord Server on November 5th, 2023. This patch aims to tweak and fix some things from the first beta, the details are listed below.

Players should remain aware that this version does not allow for a full playthrough. It is mainly meant as a way to let players try out new things (the focus being Nihilus) while the team aims to release new patches every few weeks or months for more playtesting.

While no functional full playthrough is possible, we have nonetheless added the Beta Coupon that can be crafted into several items for use in the battle against Nihilus, dropped by The Lost Siblings in True Mode.

There will be a notice when progression is possible again. Make sure to check out the discord for further updates!

Highlights

• The Beta Coupon now includes Nuba's Blessing, Tiridium Bars, Tiridium Infuser, and the Lunar Resonator
  • In addition, you now get 5 per fight with The Lost Siblings.
• The damage Nihilus deals has been lowered in both Expert Mode and True Mode.
  • Additionally, Aggression once again only triggers in True Mode.

Changes

• Challenge items will now tell you that they won't work if not soulbound.
• The arena for the Dread Obelisk now blacklists many more falling blocks, ropes, and bombs, and the floor cannot be Asphalt Blocks
• Royal Runners now use the Terraspark Boots in its recipe, instead of the ingredient boots
• The Rod of Discord and Rod of Harmony can now be used during boss fights again, with certain restrictions active (more will be added to later)
• The Soaring Insignia received a 50% flight time boost, but you also now suffer under the effects of Icarus' Folly after expending your flight time during boss fights
• Buffed the damage of Malevolence's Darkmatter Grenades
• Nerfed Perkisas - Sword of Greed's third slash and Shadeshot's base damage by 10%

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with Lunidium Coin rotation being at 0 constantly.
• Fixed item stack sizes being at less than 9999 for a lot of items.
• Fixed Challenge items locking up the server in multiplayer when they are missing their soulbound ID.
• Fixed the Dogma shader of the Living Static Dye not applying transparency correctly.
• Fixed the Shadowflare Vortex visuals breaking when Nihilus isn't active (for example when using the Storm Monolith).
• Fixed Ashen Wake's minion projectiles not counting as minion shots.
• Fixed Goblin Summoners only dropping one Accursed Molotov.
• Fixed the Sandstorm Medallion not working and glitching up the player.
• Fixed Illumifern dropping Enduflora.
• Fixed Aggression triggering in Expert Mode.
• Fixed Nihilus having way too much damage scaling (this got lost during the porting process, he was NEVER meant to deal 1000 damage at base).
• Fixed Shadowflare Phantom Flame lingering fire remaining on the ground when Annihilation Crossfire begins during the fight with Nihilus.
• Fixed Moonlight Potion explosions not having local I-frames, actively reducing your damage.
• Fixed Glass Soul doubling damage instead of increasing it by 100%.
• Fixed Ahrista Elixir and Krystea Elixir not working as intended.

Removals

• Removed some leftover Wing Slot code, as it is no longer needed (ModAccessorySlot has the correct update order)
• Removed some leftover dev code that caused shaders to be reloaded when pressing Mouse3
